Incredible esters of FF still rock the nose. Small hints of Cali chard whisper under the lactones. The palate was gorgeous and didn't reflect the oak laden aroma.

Very nice CA chard w/ tons of typical rich and tropical fruit but good balanced acidity and a touch of minerality.

Profuse lemon-lime curd with hints of crushed rocks and cinnamon. Tight and focused on palate (no decant) sustained by substantial acidity. Intense with surprising vivacity

A lot of vigor and life. Juicy and a bit extracted. Lime, honey, high toned. A bit brassy
